Bluetooth challenges iPhone 13 Pro

I recently upgraded from a iPhone 7 with which I had had no Bluetooth issues to a 13 Pro, and am finding that the Bluetooth is frequently dropping with a variety of devices (most notably with my Apple Watch and with my BlueParrott B250-C

XTS headset). Quick fix is toggling the blue tooth off and on - allows the devices to repair very temporarily. Never had these problems with these devices with the iPhone 7. Any ideas?

iPhone 13 Pro uses, Bluetooth 5.0 wireless technology

iPhone 7 uses Bluetooth 4.2 wireless technology


Your claim that Bluetooth 4.2 is superior to Bluetooth 5.0 is somewhat putting me off the track.


However, Reset Network Settings: Only network settings are removed.

  • When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.
  • To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the configuration profile, then tap Remove Profile. This also removes other settings and accounts provided by the profile. See Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone in this guide.
  • To remove network settings installed by MDM, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the management, then tap Remove Management. This also removes other settings and certificates provided by MDM. See “Mobile device management (MDM)” in the iOS Deployment Reference.
  • Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.

I’m not claiming anything is better than anything else. I’m just saying that I never had any Bluetooth issues with my old iPhone 7 but since getting my new iPhone 13 pro, I’ve had nothing but issues. I’ve experienced the same issue with multiple headsets and with my Apple Watch. I tried resetting the network settings - the issues are still occurring. Any other ideas?
